Service Level Objectives

• Administrative availability: Standard/Business Hours: M-F, 8:30am - 4:30pm EST
• Mobile devices should be dropped off at the helpdesk for configuration and setup of University services. Turnaround time varies but is usually no more than one business day.

Eligibility

University departments and authorized staff. A University provided cell phone requires supervisor approval. The supervisor has the authority to allow the employee to purchase the phone from the University in the event the employee leaves the employment of the University. The selling price of the phone will be determined by the University based on the prevailing price for a similar used model.

Limitations

Bryant recognizes that we are in an age of unlimited global opportunity. As Bryant continues to collaborate globally promoting its international business programs and global diversity, we see more international travel for our employees. Because of this, we require that all Bryant University cell phones be "global ready".

For information concerning device connectivity and/or compatibility, please consult with the Helpdesk or Telecommunications Services group.
